The Craven Street Gazette, 1770 - A Glimpse into Benjamin Franklin's Playful Side Step back in time with this fascinating print of the Craven Street Gazette, a fake newspaper written by Polly and William Hewson during their stay with Benjamin Franklin in London. Dated September 22,1770, this unique piece captures the playful side of one of America's founding fathers. In this parody publication, the Hewsons cleverly satirize Franklin's supposed grumpiness at the departure of their landlord, Queen Margaret. With witty headlines and humorous articles penned in beautiful handwriting, they create an entertaining narrative that sheds light on the close friendship shared between these individuals. Benjamin Franklin was not only a renowned scientist and statesman but also had a mischievous sense of humor. The Craven Street Gazette showcases his willingness to engage in lighthearted banter with friends while residing in London. It serves as a testament to his ability to foster camaraderie even amidst serious political discussions. This print offers a glimpse into history through its depiction of an English-American friendship flourishing during turbulent times. As you admire it within your own space, let yourself be transported back to 1770 when laughter echoed through Benjamin Franklin's home on Craven Street.
